This show isn’t the wreck you all are making it out to be
A Boss and A Babe is a solid 8. A sweet story with a sprinkle of drama and characters who actually resolve their issues without dragging things out *shocking*
Cher might be a little unconventional by society's standards, but he’s extremely lovable. He’s goofy but not dumb, and he is always genuine with others and himself. Oftentimes, this type of character comes off as annoying, but Cher never seems to cross that line. It definitely helps that he’s hilarious.
Gun is pretty much the standard of an ideal man. He’s attentive and chooses to care for the people Cher loves. He’s also vulnerable, and I would even say innocent, in respect to his interactions with others'. He wants to believe in those around him, even when he has been repeatedly shown that not everyone puts as much weight on friendship as he does. I love the little touches of comedy that come when he’s feeling shy or self conscious.
Cher perfectly fills in the gaps in Gun’s life. He shows him joy, kindness, and affection with no expectations attached. He even offers up his friend group before even knowing that making and keeping friendships was one of Gun’s traumas! Cher is what Gun needed.
The lineup of friends on both sides is a winner. On Cher’s side, we have a whole gang of loving friends who might fight and argue but who are willing to apologize when they’ve screwed up. There is a bit of a spotlight on Jack, who has his own struggles but still finds it in him to worry about his friends. I was particularly thankful that his friendship with Cher was not marred by romantic affection, like it is often done in other shows.
On Gun’s side, we have Porsche, who always pops up just when he’s needed and always has the best advice. He might be Gun’s ex, but he’s more like the fairy godmother. (We’re not going to talk about the entitled ex-friend Time, except to say that I love seeing Drake on screen and wish we could have gotten an actual resolution.)
The show did have a tendency to drop the ball when it came to resolving storylines and closing loose ends, almost as if they didn’t have enough time to film or include them and decided to cut them. In this case, it wasn’t a deal-breaker simply because GunCher were kept front and center and their resolution as a couple was satisfactory. As a whole, I believe the story would have been more poignant if these loose ends were addressed better. This is the real difference between an iconic show and just a good one, and ABAAB fell short. Still I praise it for what it did do, which was create an enjoyable romantic comedy.
In summary, a lovely ensemble with lovable characters and minimal drama. An easy and enjoyable watch.
